I suppose I'm a terrible blogger, but I take some consolation in the idea that no one probably reads this.
GetLit! was this past weekend in Spokane, and the festival was fun and exhausting. My personal favorite reading was that of Dorianne Laux, whose work always cuts straight to the bone of the human experience. Her poem "Facts About the Moon," which I heard her read last March in Atlanta, was just as fresh and compelling as the first time I saw it on the page. Glen Moore, the bassist accompanying her, was intuitive about emotional tone and not at all cheesy.
Upcoming at SCC: Epoch Reading Experience #4--Tuesday, May 13, 6:30-7:30, SCC's Hagan Foundation Center for the Humanities. Readers will include Christopher Howell, Shira Richman, Beth Cooley, Andrea Reid, and one more man (TBA).
Also, it snowed again today in Spokane.
